Here I go again - let's see if I can do this without too much stalling!

Lovers. An interesting prompt when my mind is currently focused on world-building, and creating a setting that feels more interesting to me than what I've got? The thing with a world is that I want something that's weird and interesting and yet grounded enough that I could connect to it.

Later: I've come back with some resolutions and a desire to see these two out. This prompt isn't fully checked out, but this is how they meet, and they are destined to fall for each other given time, so.

title: slip and fall
setting: right after berkant's fall, on Earth
warnings: N/A.
characters: Berkant, Lars.
word count: 431 words.
notes: The prose needs polish, but this is better. This is a start. I'm keeping this.

Enemies! A good prompt. A solid prompt. Most of the enemies in my imagined plot are faceless, so the characters can conflict with each other. Do I want an antagonist? Do I need one?

I think I do.

title: click
setting: post-fall, pre-death, while eriol and berkant are on the run from demons. (tag used it 'plot-era', as it's set during the main plot of my theoretical outline - compare/contrast with academy-era, which ought to only show up in flashbacks)
warnings: threats of violence, nothing explicit.
characters: Eriol, Berkant, Melchom. Mentions of Lars, implied Odette.
word count: 555
notes: This turned out better than I expected! I now have a named villain who's all kinds of cruel, a moment where Eriol utterly loses control (this doesn't happen often for her) and all kinds of plot established. Also demonology!

None of my characters currently have siblings! Except I don't know much about them yet, so--

--so I wrote it and came back and filled out details.

title: big sister
setting: during academy, after classes.
warnings: none.
characters: Berkant and Odette.
word count: 340
notes: Leaving out a summary as there's just not much here. It's a single scene, and I doubt I'll keep it for canon purposes - I can't see a reason for them to room together this early, and I obviously don't understand Odette at all yet. What I learned here, however, is that Berkant can fall asleep while studying, Odette has a deceased younger brother, and while angels use them as hosts, they don't merge. (Also I need to define more of how that works.)

I don't know what to put here yet! It's been a long time since I had to start a journal like this fresh - but as self introductions go, this one is terrible. Ahem.

I'm junkstars, twenty-three, and I have an interest in writing, art, and playing video games. I'd like to use this journal to write about myself, write out ideas and plans for an original piece I want to write, and as a vehicle for checking out communities.

I'm currently reading, among other things, Intruder by CJ Cherryh, A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman, and manga by Shirow Masamune. I'm playing Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Unchained Blades, and Conception II. I'm watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (the live action show), Slayers, and Vampire Princess Miyu TV.

...As the above could tell you, I'm currently binging on media thanks to some stress going on, and hopefully I can readjust my schedule in the following months so there's more writing crammed in there.

I believe that's everything for a first entry. Thank you, and good night.
